Sound and water waves are longitudinal waves, they require a medium to travel through and occilate particles 90 degrees to the wave motion
Light is a transverse wave. It doesnt require a medium to travel through.
All three reflect, refract and diffract
Light is difficult to think of because it acts in ways which waves cannot explain in some cirumstances. It acts like a particle (called photons) in some conditions, but acts like a normal sound or water wave does in others. Try not to get too caught up in light being a wave or a particle because even physists dont know how to explain it yet.
Answer:
4
Explanation:
It has 8 O atoms and 4 O2(g) molecules
Answer:
In the air
Explanation:
There are three states of matter:
- Solids: in solids, the particles are tightly bond together by strong intermolecular forces, so they cannot move freely - they can only vibrate around their fixed position
- Liquids: in liquids, particles are more free to move, however there are still some intermolecular forces keeping them close to each other
- Gases: in gases, particles are completely free to move, as the intermolecular forces between them are negligible
For this reason, it is generally easier to compress/expand the volume of a gas with respect to the volume of a liquid.
In this problem, we are comparing water (which is a liquid) with air (which is a gas). From what we said above, this means that the change in volume is larger in the air rather than in the water.
Answer:
= 2.49 × 10³J
Explanation:
Total rotational kinetic energy K = nRT
R = 8.134 J/mol.K
n = 1 mol
T = 300 K
K = 1 × 8.314 × 300
= 2.49 × 10³J
